    Flips flops, at least one new bra and some toiletries and maybe some more clothes. Although I did raid the pound rail in the charity shop on Saturday for some bits that will do and then I can leave them out there.

    Unfortunately with all that and a hair cut as well I might be looking at over £100! :eek: (Damn expensive bras!)

    Hoping the malaria tablets I have left from last time will be enough to cover this time as well, as they cost me about £80 last time and it would be nice not to have to spend that again.

    Hoping the OH's suitcase will be suitable as well so I don't have to get a new one. I ripped a massive hole in my one from last time and although I sewed it up well enough to get it home I don't really want to use it again.

    I really need to get in gear and get sorted!!! :D

  • 33 days isn't long Beccie! Do you need any vaccinations for going? At least you still have time to get the bits and pieces you need...

    Hi Pennies :) Luckily all the vaccinations I had last time mean I'm all up to date for that.

    And need to get insurance! Panicking now!!! :eek:

  • Maybe you should look at getting an anual travel insurance with all the travelling that you plan on doing?!

    My friend told me she picked up 3 bras in M&S this weekend for £5 each reduced from £18 might be worth a look, not sure if they have the same offer online and maybe some cashback too.
    I can come and pack for you, love packing and always have to have it done about 3 weeks before I go
